11425. PsychProf - 9/20/2004 7:44:03 PM Buy a snow shovel. 11426. judithathome - 9/20/2004 8:00:34 PM Ha! We already have one! We bought it when we lived in Maine. Keoni uses it to shovel leaves from piles into the leaf bags...people stop and ask him where he got "that big shovel". 11427. Ms. No - 9/20/2004 8:20:32 PM Unfortunately what you generally get in the Dallas area is ice rather than snow.
I remember a huge ice storm that we had the year the Pompeii exhibit came to town....or it might have been King Tut. Funny that I can remember the ice and having to hike into the apartment complex from the road --- the streets had been cleared but not the parking lots so it was about 1/2 a mile in, but I can't remember which exhibit it was that we saw that day. 11428. judithathome - 9/20/2004 9:28:09 PM I thought the Tut exhibit was only in New Orleans...I mean, only as close as there to us. 11429. Magoseph - 9/20/2004 9:46:48 PM I believe it was in Dallas. I have a faint memory of wanting to see it there. 11430. judithathome - 9/20/2004 9:58:47 PM Must have been there while I was out of the country. I know the first Tut exhibit was in New Orleans because my friend went and I was very envious...this was in my former life; if I'd been married to Keoni at the time, he'd have taken me! 11431. Ms. No - 9/20/2004 10:09:44 PM The more I think about it the more I believe it was the Pompeii exhibit. 11432. Magoseph - 9/20/2004 10:10:08 PM It was in Milwaukee for four months. I don't know, but it seems to me that Dallas would have had him at one point the last ten years or so. 11433. Ms. No - 9/20/2004 10:13:57 PM More than likely, but this was over 20 years ago.
Jeez, that makes me feel old. 11434. Magoseph - 9/21/2004 11:59:17 PM Hey, Ms. No, hi! 11435. Ulgine Barrows - 9/22/2004 4:20:14 AM Hello everyone.
Do you sew buttons back on shirts very much, anymore?
My son has school pictures tomorrow. He's outgrown the dressy attire from last winter. I did find a fairly nice shirt, minus a button.
We are such bad shoppers. No shopping was done for this photo shoot. 11436. Macnas - 9/22/2004 8:24:18 AM I do, I have a small sewing kit, just a habit from years ago. It only takes a minute to sew back on a button. 11437. Magoseph - 9/22/2004 1:38:58 PM I found a box in the attic that contains buttons of all kinds. I suppose they would have been handy at one time. 11438. judithathome - 9/22/2004 1:47:03 PM I would love to have those old buttons, Mags...if I see a tin or box of old buttons at estate sales, I always buy them. I love old buttons. Many were so elegant and you can make use of them today. Just last week, I was given this old purse made of woven silk and I added an antique button and a silk tassel to it and made it quite unique. I received compliments on it all night long at the galleries we visited on Saturday. 11439. Magoseph - 9/22/2004 2:42:10 PM Ah, well, it went into the dumpster, juds. 11440. Macnas - 9/22/2004 2:48:52 PM I can just see judith having a fit and thinking "and what else went into the dumpster? ahhhhh!" 11441. Magoseph - 9/22/2004 2:54:38 PM I tell you, Mac, after she wrote that she could be interested, I was wondering the same thing. 11442. judithathome - 9/22/2004 2:56:06 PM You are so right, Mac!
Those buttons could have been very valuable...I once bought a box and it had other sewing stuff in it, too...I sold this one pin cushion out of it for $24 to a collector. That paid for the entire box six times over plus I sold all the buttons eventually, too.
Mago, you'd be amazed at what people will pay for! 11443. Magoseph - 9/22/2004 3:41:06 PM In the Milwaukee Journal today, there's an article titled--Curbappeal--One person's trash is another's treasure when it comes to making finds on the street.
Not something I'd read usually, but I am now, Juds. 11444. Macnas - 9/22/2004 4:38:47 PM I've taken a lot of timber from dumpsters/skips, lots of good red deal, (I don’t bother with white) some teak, once a nice piece of mahogany, and one quite unbelievably well figured piece of solid walnut, which I still have yet to decide what to do with.
